wealth, increasing of ignorance, numerous tribulations and
widespread trading and business.” (Al-Hakim)
• Capitalist economists boast about the amount of wealth
there is in the world today. Indeed, it seems as if business
and trade are the most important agendas in the world
today, outstripping any moral values or even the sanctity of
human lives. When this is accompanied by ignorance—
especially ignorance of the religion of God—and an
increase in trials, tribulations, fighting and wars, the result
for humankind is nothing short of disastrous. Yet this is
what can be seen throughout the world today.

destroy you.

of resources, but because of unfair
